Are you making time to have fun with your friends?
I’m asking because I know how challenging it gets this time of year to balance family responsibilities, work, and self-care. Sometimes we de-prioritize the very people who add that special magic to life—our friends.
So, here’s a “friendly” reminder to coordinate some friend time in the mix!
And now, a few shares for you to nurture your personal growth:

Kindness is Contagious, Pass It Along!
I was walking around Princeton not too long ago and while waiting to cross a street, a driver stopped and waved me on. I mouthed, “Thank you,” as I walked in front of his car. Then his friend in the passenger seat rolled down his window and said with a big smile, “You are verrry welcome!”
Sir, you made my day! Heck, this was weeks ago, you totally made my November!😊
